Will Jared Leto Star in 'Tron 3'?

Disney has been mulling the idea of a third Tron movie, and now they're mulling the idea of one with Oscar-winner/30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto as its star and producer. A direct sequel to 2010's Tron: Legacy—reportedly titled Tron: Ascension—was shelved in 2015. The Hollywood Reporter says the new idea is a reboot, although it's purely in the "exploratory stage."

"Leto would play a character named Ares, who has not appeared on screen before but was a key player in [the scrapped Tron 3] script," according to THR. 

Earlier this week, Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski revealed in a live Q&A, "I guess I can say that Tron 3 is in cryogenic freeze. So, it’s there. It’s not dead. It’s alive, but it’s sitting there, waiting for the right time to move forward."

The original Tron premiered in 1982.
